I'm going to delete the line about there being 500 players registered in the USA. I find it extremely unlikely the number is that low, and it is not cited. Canada, whose national program is comparable in talent and scope has 60,000+ players. A brief search could not find the actual number. NCAA lists 33 teams playing Division I hockey and another 30+ playing Division III. Even if half the players there are from other countries, that's 500 players (63+ teams x 15-20 players). Considering that these teams must get players from somewhere, 500 total registered in the US has got to be low.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hockeyusa.PNG
Image:Hockeyusa.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
